The backcountry and freeriding conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. Increase in danger of gliding avalanches and wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The avalanche conditions are spring-like. In the late morning a low avalanche danger will be encountered over a wide area. Fresh wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes above approximately 3000 m, especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. The avalanche prone locations are easy to recognise. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
Midday and afternoon: As a consequence of warming and solar radiation a moderate danger of gliding avalanches and wet snow slides will be encountered in some regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects at low altitude and on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 2: gliding snow

The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies on sunny slopes below approximately 2600 m as well as in all aspects at low altitude. Fresh wind slabs are lying on soft layers on northwest to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 3000 m. They are in individual cases still prone to triggering. The old snowpack will be stable over a wide area.

Tendency

The avalanche conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. The danger of gliding avalanches and wet snow slides will increase a little during the day.

The backcountry and freeriding conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. Increase in danger of moist and wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.

The avalanche conditions are spring-like. In the late morning a low avalanche danger will be encountered over a wide area. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

The avalanche conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. The danger of wet loose snow avalanches will increase a little during the day.

Avalanche Problem
Wet snow above 2800m, E-SE-S-SW-W
Gliding snow above 2600m, E-SE-S-SW-W

The backcountry and freeriding conditions in the morning, after a clear night, are favourable. The danger of wet avalanches will increase during the day.

The avalanche conditions are spring-like. A clear night will be followed in the early morning by favourable conditions generally. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface. This applies on very steep sunny slopes.
From the late morning as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation there will be an increase in the danger of wet avalanches to level 2 (moderate). The avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects at low altitude and on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m. Wet loose snow avalanches and gliding avalanches are to be expected. Wet slab avalanches are unlikely to occcur.
Backcountry tours and off-piste skiing should be started early and concluded timely, especially on sunny slopes as well as at low altitude.

Snowpack

dp 10: springtime scenario
dp 2: gliding snow

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be good. The surface of the snowpack will freeze to form a strong crust and will soften during the day. This applies on sunny slopes below approximately 3000 m as well as in all aspects at low altitude. The more recent wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack.

Tendency

Decrease in danger of wet avalanches.
